Resto mod cafe racer kind of thingie. Fun around town and looks and sound are most important in this project. Details are not fully envisioned yet.

Work? Kiddos? Whatz that? You couldn't go if you wanted unless you bought tickets in advance. They went on sale in December and 6000 tickets sold out in 13 hours............bottoms up.
